Bajula hits the sweet spot between ‘90s R&B and modern electronic soul on “Catching You”

Formed during the onset of the pandemic, production duo Bajula is blazing new paths forward with their nostalgic, homemade take on R&B, soul, and electronic music. While only a few thousands of listeners have probably heard of the indie project, Alvin “Vertigo” Guanlao and Jolo “Frazier” Juatco have found refuge in expressing one’s feelings and journey through this particular kind of accessible, DIY music. 

“Given that we have been in the same band for the last decade, myself being the drummer and synths player, and Vertigo being the lead vocalist and guitarist for a band named Admiral Peppery, it was easy to start something new,” says Frazier. “During the recent wave of the pandemic, Vertigo and I had a concept about creating something different and is not the usual in terms of what we’ve previously done (like playing our usual instruments and style). To add, we always wanted to sing and groove to our songs without holding/playing our usual instruments.”
